Polyphonic Views, explores the abstract potential of performance in the absence of a physical act. The exhibition brings together 36 artists, each presented through a unique installation, forming a parcours of immersive encounters across the brutalist expanse of the Shedhalle at Funkhaus Berlin. The exhibition is part of this year’s Spatial Festival, a pioneering celebration of the Spatial Arts that treats space itself as a medium, using sound as the gateway to immersive, collective experience, with performances, installations, and technologies that dissolve the boundaries between audience and artwork.
Juxtaposing the productions of Spatial, each work presented in ›Polyphonic Views‹ serves as residue, vessel, or echo, whether bearing the physical imprint of a past gesture, implicating the viewer into an interpretive encounter, or acting out its own subtle choreography through substance and form. Together, they compose a landscape where performance is everywhere and nowhere, distributed across materials, minds, and moments, reevaluating what it means to witness and to be present.
The exhibition gives form to a layered, resonant experience that reflects the many voices of contemporary practice. It runs for three weeks, accompanied by a series of live events and activations in collaboration with Monom, in a space where echoes of the past meet the pulse of the future.
